Best of 2015: PCBWorks Provides Bidirectional Integration with Solidworks

3 December 2015

Altium has well-known electronic computer-aided design (ECAD) tools to handle PCB design. The challenge with system designs is that mechanical CAD (MCAD) tools are needed to handle the other aspects of the solution.

During ARM TechCon 2015, Altium Ltd. unveiled the latest version of the TASKING compiler toolset. The v5.2 release of the TASKING VX-toolset supports several new ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, including Cortex-M7 variants.

Altium’s PCB design tool received a major update, adding several new features and enhancements including an alternative part choice system, visual clearance boundaries, and a component placement system.
